For Richard, the most effective teachers are the ones who are continually learning. In Dr. Howard Hendrick's book The Seven Laws of the Teacher, Hendricks relates the story of one of his most memorable teachers. This remarkable man could often be seen deep in study until the late hours of the evening. When Hendricks asked him why he did it, the proffessor said: "I would rather have my students drink from a running stream than from a stagnant pool."
On this page, you will find several tried and true lesson plans that can aid teachers in areas such as Theatre and Visual Arts. They are the result of several of Richard's experiences; from Summer Drama Camp at the University of Lethbridge to invitational workshops at local schools.
And don't forget: feedback on how you found these lessons would be greatly appreciated.
